Sam Girodat brings local toughness and all-state pedigree to EMU’s tight end room
Girodat is a **Redshirt Freshman TE** at Eastern Michigan with a strong in-state resume: a three-year starter at Jackson Lumen Christi, he earned **first-team all-state honors** and helped lead a 29-3 run, which suggests a player who understands winning football and does the little things well.[1] EMU also credited him with a redshirt season and naming him Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year, a useful sign of work ethic and buy-in even before major game-day production.[1] He looks like a developmental fit for a staff that values effort, reliability, and local accountability over flash.[1]
